A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett


A Hat Full of Sky: Tiffany Aching is a witch off to go into service for an elder witch with two bodies. The Nac Mac Feegle, blue six-inch high men who are always drunk and ready to fight, realize that a hiver is after Tiffany. Hivers are creatures who have felt every animal and human and things conscience for thousands of years. They possess things because they believe that by doiong that, they will be able to shut that feeling of everything. It takes over Tiffany, but the Feegles go inside her head and throw it out. After that Tiffany and the greatest witch in the world track it down at the Witch Trials. Tiffany takes it into death and shows it how to become human enough to die. The witch that has been traveling with her takes her back into the first world and she becomes famous.

A Hat Full of Sky: The Feegles are my favorites.They talk funny, think they can take on anything and pull it down by head butting whatever it is. I was also happy that there wasn't any romance. Terry Prattchett is pretty much the only teen writer that doesn't put it in. And Tiffany's a word addict. She's read through the whole dictionary and has been given a Dictionary of Amazingly Uncommon Words with stuff like plongeon (???), 'a curtsy about one third as deep as the traditional one'.
